GSTW Helps Veterans Get Skills They Need for Manufacturing Jobs

Washington, DC,08/21/14 - James Bolding served in the United States Air Force for four years as a Munitions Systems Specialist. As a disabled veteran, and with help from the Department of Veterans Affairs, James was given the opportunity to expand his education. He aspired to work for Wynnewood Refining Company in Wynnewood, Oklahoma, which operates an oil refinery near his hometown of Davis, Oklahoma, but he needed new high-tech skills to do so.

With the help of Get Skills to Work School, Francis Tuttle, James was able to get the training he needed and accomplish his goals.
